Maybe get treatment for your mental health issues.

If you are passively asking for online friends I am not interested.

you don't need nor notice absence of online friends when you run linux

online multiplayer games become a nonissue due to kernel level anticheat

I have 0 online friends too. I pushed everyone away by my own volition, maybe because II actually can't take being around people, not even online. It was hard at first, kinda boring even. But with time I grew acostumed to it. Now I don't miss online friendship anymore. It's not worth it, really.

I don't have friend offline anymore nor online

>constantly want to play some shitty game
lmao absolutly

Of course. I just assumed everyone on here avoided that sort of thing.

I am too shy for mic in gaming as well, if you don't play games with other folks online it's impossible to make friends here.

i know that feeling op. no friends online or in real life. feels like we are a real small minority

Same, the last time I had an online friend was almost 10 yrs ago. IDK if I got boring or that ppl are just not rlly interested in making friends online anymore nowadays but when I was a kid it was super easy for me to make friends on steam. It's impossible now.

I tried to make friends online but they don't wanna be friends with someone of my race and I get bullied a lot online games, so I keep my mic off.

Honestly porn addiction is something that's made me get online friends. Gooning is functionally like a drug habit, and the thing about drug buddies is they always have their druggie friends they hang out with.

Even when I ghost everyone, within two weeks I have a new friend I picked up from a coomer server on discord from sharing pics. These friendships can last like two years, and after the first 3 months we don't really do the gooning shit anymore as it's too awkward.

I'm a hot mess in real life but I seem to effortlessly make online contacts without even setting out to.

A literal online circlejerk.

OP, i think you're self-sufficient and that's good.


>I suffer from social anxiety IRL
Wear COVID panic themed gear - mask, no-dioptria glasses and such

>I also feel little need to socialize.

I also don't add 'friends' online because people are annoying most of the time and they're jerks online. better be alone

Other than guildies in the WOW days, I saw no benefit. Occasionally I'd get a persistent coworker that'd demand it, and nothing was worse than dealing with coworkers off the clock too. I tell people I don't do computers now.

>Anyone else here has 0 friends/contacts
Yes
>on Steam and similar online platforms?
Oh.. no.

>>319536
Yes.


I have no socweb accounts.


>The only downside is that I am missing out on multiplayer games that require team coordination but I just can't stomach having to speak on a mic.


trust me, you dont miss much
if you wont ruin the game, someone else will
